Another TU Dry Run creek outing 5/13

[netboy]

Tina and I volunteered to help with another TU outing for kids on Dry Run Creek today. We had a great turnout of helpers and the kids from Mountain Home school caught some trout. Obviously, we lost lots more than what went into the net but I think all the kids caught at least a fish or two. Kind of funny to see a nice trout come up and take the fly and then say SET THE HOOK. but some did some didn't.  I had a big 24" rainbow come up and take a fly on the kids rod only to greyhound across the creek and break the 4x tippet. ..  Oh well they lost many more than they landed, but they all had a great time.

Kudos to the Norfork Hatchery staff  and Mountain Home TU chapter for organizing the outing and a wonderful lunch from Heidi's Ugly Cakes in Norfork.

Always fun to try to get them interested in the outdoors. From my perspective, it's also fun to see the big trout in Dry Run creek come up and take a fly... and then mostly break off. The kiddos get really excited and that is a good thing. Hope that will make an impression in their lives.
